Ascension N30

12-Inch, 30 Watt, Neo, Guitar Loudspeaker

"Celestion's Blue and Gold are most players' benchmarks when it comes to alnico speaker tone, and in a direct comparison test, with all the drivers involved having been nicely broken in, the Ascension N30 fares very well" — Chris Vinnicombe, Guitar & Bass 2016. 9/10 Choice Award.

Best suited for use in 1 x 12" and 2 x 12" low- to mid-powered combo amps, the Ascension N30 is an optimal combination of great sound and light weight portability. Perfect for guitar players who want a 'big amp' sound from their combos for small gig situations and also ideal for those bedroom/domestic musicians who want great tone at lower volume levels.

Displaying crystal clear, clean tones and a fantastic tight crunch when played through distortion. The tight low-end punch, dynamic vocal midrange and detailed top-end of the Ascension N30 provides players with a well balanced, three-dimensional and dynamic tone that will enhance any high-end combo valve amp, bringing out all the amplifiers intended tonal nuances. A lightweight paper cone gives the N30 a fast response time and a wide band of harmonic dynamics. Available in 8 or 16 ohms the speaker delivers an output sensitivity (SPL) of 99dB, you'll soon discover that a light weight speaker can still sound heavy.

The Ascension N30 captures the complex sonic structure usually associated with an alnico loudspeaker in a light weight neodymium format imbued with Fane's authentic vintage tone.
